For the times, an L98 IROC was pretty quick. The only options this one did not have were t-tops and the Bose Stereo. Otherwise, this was my first 'loaded' car.

You were better off without the T tops.

I seem to remember if they had a high HP engine the T-Tops were not available ... TAZ

Interesting thread to say the least. From what I've read T-Tops were available in a IROC every year the 350 option was available except 1990. Something to do with the weight and gas mileage averages if I remember correctly.

Yes, it was an '87.

I sold an 84 Z28 with t-tops to buy the 87. Night and day difference in rigidity of the body.

This is true, but damned if those T-Tops weren't nice. I loved them. That is until some little puke in Carlsbad, CA decided one night that he liked mine more than me...

On a sunny day, they would help the interior of the '84 stay warm during the winter.

I special ordered this in 1989 and still own it. It's a 1989, G92, LB9, 5 speed, with N10 dual cats, oil cooler, Aussie BW 3.45 9 bolt and DX3 decal delete. I figure if you put it in a time machine and sent it back to 1969 it could hold it's own on the street in a straight line with most muscle cars of the day and annihilate anything from anywhere on a curvy road.
